0 YRS, OLD, SHOKES 60 FAGS EACH DAY s | Briton, Just Made Citizen, Inhales | Every Drag Too | t New York, &ept. 18.-~The oldest allen who has become a citizen of the United States within the memory | of the present guardian of that privi-| lege took the oath of allegiance in the | federal district court yesterday. He is Dr. James Rosedale Wadel Ward, 96 years old, Ruddy, dapper, | straight backed, he stood before Judge | Martin T. Mar and fervently re- nounced the K x of England. Then he stepped and lit a cigar- et “What?' “Cigarettes r a day. ing smoke thro ide cried a startled stranger. at your age? sail Dr h his tache | T suppose you stand it because you| Ward, blow- white mus- | don't inhale.” | Watch me, young man.' He drew such a lungful that the fire could be| geen racing down the rice paper, and | exhaled gently through both mouth | and nose | “Hows that?' he asked “Incredible if I hadn't seen it the stranger gasped. ‘“‘Prob-| ou're able to do this because| you don't drug yourself with coffee.” “"UAn." said Dr. Ward, “Never few- er than six or eight cups a day As | much as I want. Strong, too.” “After your meals?” Longs for Beer. after and \"E!“‘(‘Pn—“'hen—i ever 1 feel like it. If I drank coffee | only at meal time I couldn’t get enough, for I eat only twice a day That's the way to live to be over a| hundzed. as 1 shall do—eat only two| meals and don't worry Let the other fellow do the heavy eating and the worrying.” The {nquisitive stranger was groggy but zame. He suggested that the gecret of Dr. Ward's longevity un-| doubtedly lay in abstention from al- olic stimulants cn?‘\sa,\"“ the new citizen sighed, "'do you remember that fine, foreign, heavy, rich beer we used to get be- fore prohibition? Ah, ah, ah-h-h-h." Court attendants and commoners sighed with him—ah-h-h-h-h-h-h. For a moment memory's chains bound them to silence. Dr. Ward broke the spell by saying briskly, “Well, the stuff we get now is intol- erable and 1 am through until prohi-‘ bition s through' This so encour- | aged the inquisitor that he hurried| away with what was left of his morale. , Dr. Ward said he was born August | 26, 1826, in Jerusalem, Palestine, where his father, Charles Wadel ‘Ward, was British consul. He studied medicines at King's college, London; the Sorbonne, Heldelberg; Vienna| and Naples, “I came out without knowing any- thing, and every year since then I've 1ealized how much less I know,” said he. I made a little trip to Africa with Henry M. Stanley, but didn’t like him and came back from Lake Tan- ganyika. Came to this country in 1880 and took out my first naturaliza- tion papers at once. During the per- {od for getting final papers I was in Alaska, That's the way it was all the time. When the moment came Ii was somewhere else, running around Before I came to -America, along about 1862, I was in Mecca, eighteen months and became a Mohammedan. In 1867 I was an interpreter for the | Empress Eugenie in France. | Advocates Walking. | “I was married in Germany. One of my five children was born in Col- orado, another in Maine and the rest in New York. Retired from active| work some time ago, but still moving it seems. Two years ago, when I ap- | plied again for citizenship—it had to | be done over again, for the seven year term had long since expired— | I was living at 346 West Seventy-first street. Now the address is 64 Eliza- | beéth avenue, Newark, but at this very | moment my wife is out looking for | an apartment.’” “What's the best form of exercise| for a young fellow?” a court attend- | ant asked | “Walking. A while ago I walked from Jersey City to Montclair and back. I walk miles every day. I've often walked from the Battery to 147th street, about eight miles, and enjoyed every step.” “And why were you so anxious to become an American citizen?"” “Because,” Dr. Ward said, empha- sizing every word with a tap of his forefinger, “'this is the only country in the world that has every resource and that has real liberty of thought, edu- cation, movement and aspiration. I eay this despite prohibition and graft.” my- “With | Loomis to Represent 3 City on Boston Trip John C. Loomis, presidgnt of the Chamber of Commerce, has been del-| egated by Mavor A. M.
